Lights that shine
In the night
Illuminate
To his delight

Noise
Without a sound
A silent din
Ringing loudly
Drowning me
In obscure thoughts
Mangled
Between reality
And imagination
Torn between
Here and then
With no ground
On which to plant my feet
I float
In an aura
Of uninspiring glow
Quickly fading
Into darkness
Ebony night
Pale against my skin
The moon
New
Sheds no light
Yet
I seek it
Dare to emerge
Eyes open
Only to be blinded
By ignorance, arrogance
And the loss of humanity

Ghoulish creature in full moon light
Eerily stalking you, in ebony night
No longer hidden, the Hunter’s Moon glows
Lighting the way, with terror, he shows
A hideous face, with a sickle in hand
His quest for you, most carefully planned
Watching and waiting, he stares in the dark
Empty eyes gazing, he’s leaving his mark
Quivering soul, he’s gotten into your head
Wearing you down, no escape from the dead

I’ll float, far away
Into clouds of unknown
Settled sweetly in this basket
I now call my home
Heading for the crescent
Lighting the sky
A place in the heavens
Tis where I shall fly.
My balloon, it mimics
The likes of a fish
One made of jelly
Upon which I wish
To travel to places
I’ve not been before
Clipping the mountain tops
Over the shore.
Skirting the lands
I’ll make my escape
With the wind in my hair
And the night, taking shape
Just me and the universe
Stretching our wings
Flying, free as a bird
With naught anchoring.

She is the darkness that glows in the night
A beautiful bird against the full moon light
Sisterly love, she admires, from afar
Elegance floats, while she stands, char
Ebon as midnight, only pale skin aglow
Standing in shadows, afraid to show
Frozen, she is quiet, still, like a stone
Hoping the others won’t see her alone
But sight of her they do, indeed, espy
They hiss and they trumpet, a loud outcry
A warning to the guards, in the castle keep
Who send her away, and she silently weeps
